October in This Railroad Earth

The Ataris

Thirteen minutes of tape-saturated punk rock and Kerouac-inspired nostalgia. A dusty, lo-fi snapshot of travel, memory, and the passage of time.

June 25, 2016 · Not On Label (The Ataris Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A weathered, analog reflection on travel and time that feels both gritty and deeply tender.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, warm saturation of the guitars on Slacker Rock that feels like an old cassette tape catching light.
The vulnerable, unpolished vocal delivery on Silver Turns to Rust where the track ends abruptly, leaving a ringing silence.
The way Peel Sessions captures a specific, grainy indie-rock aesthetic that feels more like a private demo than a studio product.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
